Careful saying that here the opposite will happen

Sure. I'm solid christian, all the way man. People have talked about this very idea before, but nothing really happened...

No offense to you or your religion, but doesn't it seem sort of trivial to say "we're unicycling for Christ?" I mean, I could understand unicycling to raise money for your church, or something along those lines, but unicycling for Christ seems extremely arbitrary. Why not make ice cubes for Christ? Why not draw a circle on a piece of paper for Christ?

To me, it seems like people use Christianity as another way of excluding people from their activities. Not that you specifically are doing that, but so many people bring religion into facets of life that are really unrelated to religion at all.

I'm starting to sound like Holden Caulfield, so I'll quit, but hopefully you'll consider what I said.

Bah. All you'll find is a bunch of 'fluff' about atheist vs. christianity.

[harper]

Would you like me to move this to the Just Conversation forum where it really kind of belongs?

[juggle508]

We need some rubber bracelets that say like Unicycle For Christ.

I would buy like 10 of them lol.


KH.

Fine by me, as long as it doesn't end up like the last christian unicyclists thread...

This thread appears to be about making a movement of unicyclists that have a similar interest. While, in the past we have had lots of discussion about religion, let's try to keep this thread on topic and put the rest in those past threads, no matter how controversial, and against my personal beliefs this is.

im not trying to imply that we are all unicycling for christ, but i thought it would be cool to start something new and diffrent

no because even if it does belong there not nearly as many people will look at it or join and it would be a complete flop (it wouldn't work)

Why not make ice cubes for Christ? ...

Not trivial. Unicycling is what he loves to do. He presumably dedicates a lot of time and effort to be the very best unicyclist he can be. He derives great joy and happiness from unicycling. Unicycling is a BIG part of his life. And so...

And so he dedicates that effort and that joy to Christ. He is saying, "Jesus, this joy is for you, from you, and through you. I do this for you."

Sort of like in the front of a book -- "I dedicate this book to my wonderful wife and children. Thank you for standing by me. This book is for you." Or in The Little Drummer Boy -- the boy does not have a gift for the baby Jesus, so he plays music for Him.

And if you were unicycling for Christ, you would try to do your very best, wouldn't you?


skroboskim, I don't mean to put words in your mouth. This is just my interpretation. And speculation, actually. Because I'm an atheist.

Lastly, Greg, I don't know where this thread belongs. He is trying to start a unicycle club based on an idea -- a common bond -- rather than a geographical location. This is unique, I believe. I think the thread should stay in RSU. It will stay more on topic in RSU (we atheists will be less tempted to have "fun" with it in RSU).

[GhettoSmurf]

So how exactly does one unicycle for Christ? Explain to me how this actualy helps him. Do you spread the word of Christ whilst riding a unicycle.
Because uh, just unicycling doesn't really mean your unicycling for Christ.
